Just seeing someone who plays hockey, who goes to college, who has it all ahead of him, is tough for him. When Whit runs into Rainn in the bookstore, Rainn is virtually triggered by Whit. While he’s good at and loves hockey, his dream is to run the family farm with his older brother, Campbell. He’s in his senior year of college studying farm management. Leighton “Whit” Whittaker is an openly gay hockey player for Moo U in Burlington. Hockey was everything to him and without it he doesn’t know who he is. He’s not dealing with the loss of his dream career. Rainn’s family is in Rhode Island but he’s basically cut them out of his life. He’s been working at Vino & Veritas in the bookshop and as the book begins, picks up some extra shifts in the bar to supplement his meagre income. He was only a semester away from graduating with a degree in sports management, but he doesn’t believe there’s much point to that career now and hasn’t been back. It’s been four years since then and he’s stuck. Rainn Richardson is a former hockey player, scouted to play for the NHL in his senior year in college but injury put paid to that dream. Headstrong is book three in Vino & Veritas, a queer contemporary series written by various authors in Sarina Bowen’s True North World and set in and around the bookstore/bar Vino & Veritas.
